Eagles - Hotel California

With Glenn Frey adding chiming 12-string fills (and with the lavish Hell Freezes Over concerts recorded on 48 tracks simultaneously), this seven-minute- plus version of Hotel California is shimmer in excelsis, even managing to outdo the jangle of the original.

As ever, the chorus lands like a right hook, but for guitarfans, the real magic arrives in the closing minutes, as Walsh and Felder – always a fiercely competitive axe pairing – square up once more in an unplugged rematch of their famous 1977 duel. The Eagles had landed. Again.
